Prawns cleaned with Fairy Liquid, tribunal hears

A well-known fish and shellfish processing company forced staff to engage in dubious and appalling work practices, a recent hearing of the Employment Appeals Tribunal was told.

A former manager of Rockabill Shellfish, which is based in Balbriggan, Co Dublin, alleged he was forced to take part in irregular practices while working for the company.

Michael Murray from Skerries, Co Dublin, gave evidence that he had to pack products which were damaged or which had fallen on the floor, and repackage returned products once traceability had been removed.
